Overall, statewide turnout increased by about two percentage points after photo ID; further, there is no consistent evidence that counties that have higher percentages of minority, poor, elderly or less-educated population suffer any reduction in voter turnout relative to ...

Previous reports suggest that the site of the energy-dependent intestinal calcium transport against an electropotential and concentration gradient is located along the basal-lateral membrane of the mucosal cell. Accordingly, basal-lateral membranes were prepared from rat intestinal homogenates in order to identify the enzyme mediating this step in the transport process. An alkaline phosphatase ...

bacterial endocarditis is a serious disease that could occur after invasive dental procedures. despite a large number of papers written about the knowledge of prevention of bacterial endocarditis among health care workers in western countries, little is known about awareness of this subject among practitioners and students in other countries. the purpose of the present study was to assess the k...

Steam power plants are the most efficient type of generation and can make a significant contribution to demand for electricity resources. plants, in general, utilize energy derived from seawater be process into steam boilers so that often many pipe failures have occurred due thinning corrosion caused by inappropriate water quality small units difficult detect continuously. In inspection plannin...

bacteria play an important role in the initiation and progression of diseases (not only in disease but affect health status of individual). populations of digestive microflora in chicken gut change with age and also affected by diet, stressors, and performance enhancers as well as in disease conditions. the aim of the pre-sent study was to know bacterial makeup in chicken gut, using denaturing ...
